The food was outstanding. The ambiance was wonderful. I visited to meet friends for lunch. They ordered from the breakfast and bubbles menu and really enjoyed it. The bartender made a wonderful nonalcoholic peach raspberry Bellini for me and later a tall glass of cranberry juice to enjoy while my friends did a wine 🍷 tasting. Overall, a great time was had by all!

As usual we had a very lovely experience at Chew Chew. We always sit at a table in the bar area. This time we went for the Thursday oyster special. We also had a cauliflower crust flatbread all just delicious. We always enjoy their cocktails too. We go out to eat often and Chew Chew is one of our favorites

The food was delicious, and I appreciated the opportunity to choose a keto friendly dish. The keto bowl is quite tasty, and very unique! It’s nice that there are a variety of proteins available for this dish. I do wish there were more keto friendly options, but having this one is definitely a plus. Our server, Robert, was, as always, very attentive and quite friendly. Unfortunately, because of the rain, we had to dine indoors, which can be very loud. I love the patio area, though. Overall, I would label this a neighborhood gem!
